ACFA is proud to announce that the launch issue of Connect magazine is now available to read online and will be landing in subscriber’s mailboxes this week!
Issue 1 sets the tone for the goal of this new publication which links the cabinet making, design and building communities together. Packed with stories, great reads, industry profiles, hints and tips, technical updates and industry news – each issue of Connect magazine aims to inspire collaboration and communication.
The launch issue is also the annual Awards Issue and inside we celebrate the winners from the recent ACFA Industry Awards and KBDi Design Awards. Take a look through our full wrap up of all the category and major winners.
On the cover: an incredible project from INDETAIL in conjunction with INDETAIL PROJECTS. The Vinesmith Urban Cellar Door project is located in Melbourne’s CBD and provides a cellar door experience as well as providing a multi-faceted space for wine tasting, retail activities and elegant dining. It is a masterful commercial space that exemplifies the best of the cabinet making and design industries with its innovation and meticulous craftsmanship.
Also in this issue, bring yourself up to date with the latest on the hot topic of Livable Design and best practices within the residential interior design sector. Plus, we look into the sometimes-tricky topic of Succession Planning and discover that it’s never too early to be thinking about transition.
Take a deep dive into the world of small apartment design and learn how to maximise every available centimetre thanks to clever design application and the latest in space-saving fittings and fixtures.
The people of our industry, and their passion and commitment, are the backbone of what pushes us to excel. In the first issue we meet furniture designer Nathan Day and learn more about his background and passion for the work he does, and KBDI Australian Kitchen Design of the Year 2024, Sarah Nolen from Birdblack Design.
Add in plenty of inspiration with product updates and international show reports and you’ll discover an amazing launch issue.
